What Kinds of Mushrooms are Best for Stuffing?

When making appetizer-sized stuffed mushrooms, large white button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms are most commonly used. If you want larger stuffed mushrooms, you can use portobello mushrooms.

When buying mushrooms, look for ones that are firm and plump because this indicates freshness.

Mushrooms need to be cleaned thoroughly before stuffing. A soft brush or a dishcloth can be used to remove dirt from the mushroom cap. Once cleaned, mushrooms should be given a rinse under cold water and allowed to dry before being stuffed.

  • Fresh mushrooms may be stored in a plastic bag for 3 to 4 days in your refrigerator.
  • Purchase mushrooms without any blemishes because they will last longer if you aren’t going to cook with them the first day.
